Let your inner — or outer — nerd shine at the sixth annual World Maker Faire New York, a two-day celebration of the playful side of creators on the cutting edge of technological innovation. Held at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the festivities includes lectures, demonstrations, games, workshops, and lots of other activities that support World Maker Faire’s declaration of being the “Greatest Show & Tell on Earth.” In addition to the below select events, there are aerial drone battles, go-cart power racing, circus acrobatics, power tool drag racing, a live performance by DJ QBert and the Thud Rumble Crew, tons of cool booths, and lots of food trucks as well as the much-loved paella stand. And you can get a head start on everything by attending MakerCon — the Conference for Makers by Makers on September 24 ($395) and the NYC Media Lab Annual Summit at the NYU Skirball Center on September 25 ($145) as part of Maker Faire Week.
